Site Assessmsnt and Proposals.
Pirton Grange Care Home is a Grade II Listed Building know as the Rectory, Listed 1965.
(refrence number 1258261, see listing details below)
Early C18. Regular house of 2-storeys and attics in red brick. 5 windows with flat
arches of rubbed brick and moulded keystones, the central of the upper windows
being enriched. The north front has a simple moulded wooden door case with barred
rectangular fanlight. Old tiled roof. 3 gabled dormers.
The property sits within 2.33 acres of garden land and has been the subject of a
number of planning applications since 1998.
This application seeks approval for an External Classroom within the grounds of the
property. Two LPG tanks are also required to be upgraded and relocated.
No internal or external extensions, changes or Change of Use are proposed.
The home is under the operation of Embrace, a large extremely experienced and reputable
Health Care company with nearly 200 similar homes in Great Britain.
The granting of permissions will ensure the continued use of this building for the foreseeable
future.
Access
The site access will remain from Worcester Road.
Amount of Development
The site area is 9450m2. The existing footprint of the building measures 1493m2
which is equal to just 15% of the site area.
The proposed external building measures 36.5m2 in floor area, and is single storey.
This is equal to just 2.4% of the existing building footprint so is very small in
comparison.
Scale.
The external building is 8.1m long, x 4.5m wide and just 2.5m high. The LPG tanks will
sit on a concrete base approximately 2.9m x 2.7m and will be 1.5m high.
Siting
The location of the building has been carefully chosen to be away from any mature
landscaping, but be close enough to the existing building to be easil y access by
residents and staff.
The location is also away from the main entrance and cannot be seen from Worcester
Road.
The tanks will be relocated approximately 17m to the south.
Statement of Significance and Historic Values
The application acknowledges that Parton Grange is a Grade II Listed Building. The
proposed works are very minor in comparison to alterations that have previously been
undertaken with the building has been extended previously what we believe to be on
two previous occasions, the last being to add a wing to the east side of the building to
provide additional bedroom accommodation for the care home.
This application is for an external building and relocation of tanks, small in size with a
low impact upon the existing building and the settings.
The application will have no impact on screet scene as the development is
approximately 135m from roadside and will no impact on residential amenities due to
nature and scale of the development.
With the chosen siting of the development it will cause no impact on protected trees or
significant landscaping.
The application for the external building would ensure that the architectural character
and appearance of the Listed Building would not be compromised by the development.
